There are management illusions, developer illusions, tester illusions and user illusions.The most common are:

1.Management illusions

What is testing, at all

Anybody can test

You can test in quality

Some products need no testing

Automated testing vs. exploratory testing

2.Developer illusions

My software has no bugs (or too few to care)

The testers are going to find all bugs anyway

Thorough unit testing is enough

3.Tester illusions

I am allowed to stop bad software

I need to test everything

I can test everything

If it works, it is good enough

Thorough system testing is enough

4.Customer / User illusions

Buy it and forget it

We do not need to test

Testers do not need to communicate with us
